A lot of fans were skeptical when LEGO announced upcoming Ben 10 sets, and they were right. We now have pictures of the upcoming Ben 10 big figs from Amazon.com

CubeDudes of the Verse
Chris Doyle joins the CubeDude revolution with an awesome batch inspired by characters from Firefly and Serenity.
Don’t miss all of Chris’s CubeDudes on Reasonably Clever, as well as the growing number of adorable little guys in the Flickr group.
CubeDudes Invade!
Angus Maclane has been building like crazy lately. The craziness has manifested itself as CubeDudes, which appear to be famous characters with cubes for heads. They are adorable! He just posted oodles of these awesome little dudes. Click on the pictures to go to a gallery of related figures.
Which is your favorite?
The Adventures of Clutch Powers [News]
Gerard Joosten just posted a picture of a flyer he found packaged with the latest Bionicle movie. The flyer claims that “The Adventures of Clutch Powers” is coming to DVD in the spring of 2010. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the movie with which Warner is involved. There are Universal and Tinseltown Toons logos on there. What are your thoughts and feelings about this?
(Edit: Its looks like this is the first of several straight-to-DVD releases.)
Pictures of 2010 LEGO sets – Atlantis, Toy Story, & more – at Festival RFFL [News]
UPDATE: High-res photos of LEGO Atlantis sets are now out.
——–
Alexander (Shurik) posted pictures of some of the 2010 sets that LEGO has displayed at a sponsored event in Russia called Festival Rossiyskogo Fan Forum Lego. The featured sets include samples from the following themes: Atlantis, Toy Story, Prince of Persia, Star Wars, Power Miners, City, Bionicle and more.
EDIT (TG): These pictures were uploaded due to a miscommunication and have been removed from Flickr at the request of TLG. The local Ambassador, Igor Makarov, asked me to remove the deeplink which I have done.
UPDATE: Target.com also has box art for one of the 2010 LEGO Power Miners sets, 8188 Fire Blaster:
Tron light cycles make quick turns at 90-degree angles
LEGO seems a perfect medium to build scenes from the 1982 movie Tron. These light cycles by Stefan (2×4) look like they’re going a million miles an hour.
If you’d like to build your own LEGO light cycle, Stefan has also posted instructions.
Harrison’s LEGO Wall-E looks skyward
Harrison (corran101) says he’s had his Wall-E lying around for quite a while. This tiny diorama illustrates the continuing emotive power of Wall-E. The rundown robot in the background totally makes this, with a rusted patch and broken eye.
And don’t miss those tread marks behind Harrison’s LEGO Wall-E. Well worth the wait, I think.
District 9 Mecha Suit
Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) knows his way around building mechas, so naturally comes this accurate rendition of the mecha suit from District 9. In addition to expertly crafting a detailed frame, Brian uses custom stickers to add a new level of realism to the creation. Lastly, the irregularly shaped baseplate with littered junk completes a scene. Will there be room for a can of cat food? Don’t forget to say hi to Wikus at the controls.
I owe my success in life to the ability to swear in a Donald Duck voice
Okay, maybe not, but this is a lovely Donald Duck by Erik Smit (.eti).
Erik’s LEGO Donald Duck combines pieces that span at least 30 years of LEGO, from the “maxi-fig” hat and arms to the Clikits Belville piece as Donald’s mouth. Nice chiarascuro in the photo, too.
What’s wrong with Wensleydale?
Nothing, it’s lovely, as is this Shaun the Sheep from “Wallace & Gromit” by Piotr (Pepik), via the Living Brick — welcome back, OJ.
Nearly as cute is Pepik’s Polish “tankette”.
I have another puzzle for you...
Craig Lyons (legolyons) has added a new addition to his Wonka Universe:
The whole thing just works for me: the fantastic purple forklift, the head-sized jawbreakers, and the Oompa Loompas. You can get a better view of the Oompa Loompas here, as well as his Willy Wonka and Mr. Slugworth mini-figures.
Alive in JoBerg biosuit by Lemon_Boy
As twee affect rightly notes, we’re going to be seeing a lot of LEGO creations inspired by District 9 over the coming weeks. Some truly crappy, others rather awesome, like this biosuit by Erik (Lemon_Boy).
This is actually based on the suits from “Alive in JoBerg” — the short film writer/director Neill Blomkamp expanded into the feature-length District 9. Thanks to the magic of YouTube, you can watch “Alive in JoBerg” without leaving TBB:
